Reservoir Engineering Core system:From the new Reservoir Engineering Core module, you can build ECLIPSE simulation models directly from your geological models; add fluid properties, well completions, production history and event scheduling. Organize your geological realizations and development scenarios into cases and select and launch the appropriate ECLIPSE and Frontsim simulator and analyze your results.

Combined Core system:The Combined Core module includes the functionality of both the Geoscience Core and the Reservoir Engineering Core

Data and Results Viewer:The Data and Results Viewer provides easy access for viewing well and seismic data, reservoir interpretations and simulation results. An ideal tool for simulation engineers, managers, stakeholders and even shareholders, the viewer provides viewing access to all Petrel data items found in a project, without the necessity of learning individual Petrel modules.

Petrel Modules:The following modules are available in petrel and a listing of their functionality and required cores is given next.

Seismic volume rendering and extraction (Geosciences Core or Combined Core and Seismic interpretation):Any 3D seismic attribute volume can be extracted from a SEG-Y/ZGY cube. Different degrees of transparency can be applied. The seismic volume can be rendered in 3D and visualized together with any other data available in Petrel. State-of-the-art volumeblending technology is used in Geobody interpretation to quickly isolate, extract, and integrate a body directly into a property model for true 3D volume interpretation. This allows users to interactively blend multiple seismic volumes, isolate areas of interest, and then instantly extract those areas into a 3D object called a geobody.

Seismic sampling (Geosciences Core or Combined Core and Seismic interpretation):Display of seismic data (using intersections) and QC of the seismic data within a 3D grid, depth conversion of a seismic volume (requires the Domain Conversion module), creating a seismic property by sampling any seismic attribute into a 3D grid, extract seismic data to an attribute map that can be draped over a surface.

Petrel Geology and ModelingA full suite of reservoir characterization modules include the ability to generate well correlation panels, perform traditional mapping and plotting techniques and 3D reservoir modeling, seamlessly integrated with the simulation environment. The Workflow editor tool allows for rapid model updates reducing project cycle time and maximizing efficiency.

Well Correlation (Geosciences Core or Combined Core):2D well correlation display, correlation of formation and facies tops, dynamic link in all displays; 2D, 3D and Spreadsheet, extensive display options, various subdivisions of tops and facies with legends.

Petroleum Systems Quick Look (Geosciences Core or Combined Core):Lets geoscientists perform charge modeling for scouting evaluation and ranking of plays and prospects. This creates a connected workflow for generalists and specialists. Petroleum systems experts can perform full analysis of charge risk with the advanced functionality in the PetroMod software.

Structural and Fault Analysis (Geosciences Core or Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):Extraction of fault cell faces along fault surfaces in the 3D grid. Calculation of permeability, thickness and shale gouge ratio along the fault. Calculation of transmissibility multipliers based on fault properties and grid permeabilities. Export of transmissibility multipliers in ECLIPSE format. Discrete fracture Modeling (Geosciences Core or Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):Discrete Fracture Networks (DFN's) can be generated and visualized in Petrel, fracture attributes can be assigned to each fracture plane and the fracture attributes can be upscaled using Golder algorithms to grid properties (Permeabilities, Porosity and Sigma Factor), fracture grid properties can be used directly in Define simulation case in Petrel for Dual Porosity/Dual Permeability simulation.

Advanced Gridding and Upscaling (Geosciences Core or Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):The Advanced Upscaling module has now been placed on maintenance mode. A new module, Advanced Upscaling and Gridding, contains new simulation gridding technology supporting Local Grid Refinements (LGR's) and IJK stair-step gridding, as well as the upscaling functionality of the Advanced Upscaling module. Features include a wide range of upscaling techniques for sampling fine scale grids into coarser simulation grids. Includes full tensor upscaling for permeability, which runs simple simulation in each of the coarse cells to calculate effective permeability in each direction. Flexible options for the solver used, skin cell definition, output orientations and the consideration of porosity and N/G properties.

Frontsim Locked (Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):Inclusion of the ECLIPSE FrontSim streamline simulation technology enables better workflows for ranking geological models. It is an important step in the iterative workflows in Petrel for estimating uncertainties and to better understand which models to base decisions on. The module and the user interface is adjusted and conformed to fit with the 3D modeling workflows in Petrel.

History Match Analysis (Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):Perform history-matching studies on multiple ECLIPSE reservoir simulation runs in an effort to isolate the best or most likely geological realization.

Optimization (Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):Optimize reservoir simulation forecasts using a selection of optimization algorithms. Optimize while considering uncertain parameters. Use proxies created through the Petrel Sensitivity Analysis module for faster processing. The module offers three variants of a local optimization (simplex) algorithm with ability to handle linear and non-linear constraints on the control and response variables. Tornado chart window and objective function definition process are available with this module.

Surface imaging:Option to drape a surface with a bitmap, e.g. aerial- or satellite pictures, coordinates can be added to imported bitmaps.

Classification & Estimation:Neural network technology for the estimation and classification of well logs, surfaces, seismic volumes and 3D property models.

Prosource Petrel Workflow Extension:The ProSource workflow extension for Petrel module provides simple unobtrusive workflows designed to help manage Petrel projects. This design allows asset teams across enterprises the power to browse, compare, quality control, and ensure compliance of published projects, while minimizing the administration tasks required of the Petrel user.

Petrel Database & Petrel Reference Tool:Tools that allow one to leverage scalability and multi-user collaboration by using a centrally localized database to feed into users own projects.

Petrel Drilling

Well design (Geosciences Core or Reservoir Engineering Core or Combined Core):Digitizing and editing of well trajectories in 3D, sampling of modeled properties from a 3D model along any well trajectory, intersection report of well trajectories and Horizons, make synthetic logs for well trajectories, export well trajectory to file.

Great work! thanks for this. All those modules can be confusing. Especially when negotiating which modules are needed with my manager. This is an easy print out. Do you have (approximate) pricing as well?
